Artist's Statement

Commission for :iconrainfyre66:

She requested the generation 1 pony "Gypsy" to be transformed into a generation 3 custom done in my own style, and in gypsy attire.

For the g3 pose, I went with something that was quite similar to the generation 1 pose of the original pony.

She has a full body repaint in approx. 5 layers of custom blended acrylics in the pigments of tiger lily and neon orange.

I carved a hole in the middle of the forehead and attached the horn and secured it with heavy-duty wire inside the head, and sealed it on the the outside with several alternating layers of the custom blended paint and mod podge, ultimately sealing it with mod podge.

Her eyes are done with my eye-enlargement method, and in my original anime style to give her personality.

I painted 3 purple tambourines around the original jewel symbol of the pony, and fastened a pink chain with wire around it.
Her boots are authentic leather, detailed in hemp.
Rest of her outfit is hand-sewn, detailed in leather straps, bias cord, and texiled in various ribbons. Her dress is detailed in various faux gems from Michaels.

Her tail is a blend of Hasbro pony hair in the color of marmalade and nectarine. Her mane is of the same blend, only the top half is nectarine with low-lights of a custom blend of english toffee with tiger lily. The lower half of her mane is marmalade with satsuma mixed in for depth.

There's a small portion of hair I put on the front of her mane to braid down the side: it's in the pony hair colors of garnet jewel and a custom blend of tiger lily with watermelon martini that's called "tiger melon".
